Outline
The TCM controls engine output torque and reduces transaxle output shaft torque fluctuation during auto shifting, and reduces shock occurring from the vehicle during shifting.
Construction

Operation
During auto shifting, the TCM sends the torque reduction request signal using the CAN system and temporarily reduces the engine output torque by the engine ignition timing retard control. As a result, transaxle output shaft torque fluctuation is reduced during auto shifting by smooth engagement of the clutch.

In addition, the TCM receives the engine output torque from the PCM via the CAN signal to determine the clutch engagement pressure according to the engine output torque. As a result, the clutch hydraulic control setting accuracy is increased and smooth shift performance is achieved.

Starting a Flooded Engine
If the engine fails to start, it may be flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try, wait ten
seconds and try again.
2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way and hold it ...

WARNING
Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the windshield,
it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result in an accident.
